Would assume "hip" LA Koreatown restaurants being those owned by younger folks who don't possess the experience in making great authentic Korean food but are pros at creating atmosphere, or are owned by mega-corporations back in Korea (kind of like what they're doing in NY or Hawaii, all those new restaurants popping up)

The good ones are those where the atmosphere is pretty standard for an Asian restaurant, cause the owners are older Korean folk who have that familiar mentality of "good food will be enough for business" rather than "we need a setting that's great for taking foodie pics at"

In another jab at McConnell, McGrath said she supports term limits.

Her bosses Pelosi and Schumer (among other senior Democrats) will shoot that delusion down before it's even written on paper, so why even attempt to sell such an idea?

McGrath said it was premature to say whether she would support the presidents acquittal or conviction when the trial takes place. Senators should review the evidence and then make a judgment, she said.

I see it too. The right wing is a cult that is super devoted and super driven to vote no matter what.

Which is a great thing, if you're the type that pushes the whole "voting matters" type of person.

Whereas look at states with the lowest voting %. Only ~35% of Hawaii votes, the lowest in the entire country; West Virginia is 2nd lowest at 45%. That's much less than half of the State's population wanting to be involved in the voting process (since it only counts voting registered, etc.).

Fecal transplants are a thing.

Not through IV though.

Mom and Pop stores should be exempt from the 15$-an-hour idiocy.

No. In fact, the military is trying to fill shortages left by the 2011-14+ downsizing under Obama.

If I had to join again, I'd choose enlisted over commissioned. There's that expectation of boundaries lingering overhead between the two, and commission-commission, while you can generally joke and be more at ease around other enlisted (at least up to E5/E6, I find that there's more leeway)

They're basically the same ******* thing, except a good guy may be a dick to achieve a positive outcome, while a nice guy will try and be polite about it.

If someone has an ulterior motive (like expecting favors), then they're not exactly a nice guy.

Don't bother with him, Veggeta. You're wasting your time essentially talking to a brick wall.

So you're arguing that I should instead just name Francis the best Pope, since he's the first to bring about these necessary changes.

Ok, you've convinced me.

I'm just wondering where you rank Francis, since apparently he's the best in modern times, but not the best overall, despite the fact that all the previous Popes practically stuck to the same routine with little deviation, relative to him.

Who else is your favorite Pope of non-modern times,?

What was the purpose of the included snippet if not being a summary?

DrizztLink posted...

Dunno how you equate "modern" with "thousands of years," but that's your problem.

Is there a Pope from olden times that enacted radical changes to church doctrine/operation, and which you find more favorable than Francis?
Otherwise it wouldn't matter if you added "in modern times", since he would still be #1 in your rankings.

And considering how he's trying to move the church away from being a gluttonous money-hungry monstrosity and actually tried follow the teachings of that Christ fella (who is apparently a big part of the whole "Christianity" thing), as well as holding pedophilic priests accountable instead of shuffling them around, yes. He's much better.

Apart from the pedophilic priests, which can be considered a "recent" issue, has the church not operated as what you have described for most of it's existence? Certainly the Crusades aren't a period that fit your MO of being Christ-like, but when else/what other periods has it been any different?

I mean, did you actually see it? Cause it could have been anything other than a rat.

Like a raccoon. Or a baby deer.

An excuse so that the Canadian Government can run secret human test subject projects in seclusion.

Hopefully they have radio so that they can report suspicious activity in the coming months (and, of course, to call for aid if required).

Imagine hating the Catholics in 2019

You're on CE, where apparently the priests are all child molesters and that the Church itself can never be forgiven for the Crusades (evident in it's use as a rebuttal whenever Islam is being talked about)

What do you think will happen after the effects wear off? They'll be worse off than how they were before taking it.

For those that aren't doing anything to improve their lives, putting them in a cell where they can spend some time reflecting on their current state is more of an improvement than inducing a chain of addiction and withdrawal.

DrizztLink posted...

My stance comes from him actually trying to follow the teachings of Christ, which is apparently controversial.

Clearly the Church was doing it wrong for thousands of years from it's inception before Francis arrived on the scene, huh.

lol That old dude squatting in the center probably thinks he's the shit. I love it when people try to act tough and talk shit, especially if they are tall, considering all it takes is a single well placed bullet or a good laceration with a knife to put you six feet under. Also, wouldn't it be smarter for them not reveal themselves and announce who they are, as it probably will draw attention to themselves and make them targets, and they would have a higher chance of catching criminals otherwise?

Announcing their presence acts as a deterrent. Much like how people put up signs pointing out that they have a
dog/security camera, or signs pointing out that the neighborhood engages in crime watch or whatever it's called.

Imagine reading this story and your only take away is "how dare she get a Boob job"

There's hypocrisy when you also get stories of people who engage in excessive cosmetic surgery to the point where they go from normal, or in some instances cute, to "unsightly", and the general CE response being practically the same.

That would have to mean the alternative scenario being he abducted three men and forced them into his home, then proceeded to shoot up his place to make it look like a botched break-in/robbery

Edit:
Or that the door was unlocked and three men mistakenly entered his residence thinking that it was their own...

Well, he's actually the best Pope of the modern era.

I don't really care what you think, just figured I'd let you know that your opinion is stupid.

Wrong.

As a millennial I gotta say I was fucking miserable until I just stopped giving a shit about keeping up with all the trends and flare pretending to keep up with shit I don't care about, that I think more need to do. Mental health went way up after separating myself from almost all social media too.

It's easy to fall into an unending circle of toxic bullshit and not really realize what it's doing to you online these days.

Apparently you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to care about climate change and other issues that you personally wouldn't care about because what about the future generations!.

Except that burnout and depression commonly results from forced involvement. Cheers!

Imagine not paying a few more dollars for tracking/insurance, and since we're talking Japan, not opting for EMS.

And if you live in the Philippines, Brazil, Russia, etc. where packages will get "lost" once it reaches customs.

No surprise, especially when schools are implementing play-doh coping sessions and entertaining student protests over every little perceived "offense" like lack of/existence of X being a deliberate slight.

Frankly, if we approach this through the lens of Republican Party De-regulation, she would be free to sell her foodstuffs from wherever and whenever, without the overburdens of needless government oversight and "safety and health" standards, in the pursuit of free market capitalism and the American Dream.

Just makes you think.

What State/Country?

She'll most likely need a permit to sell food, and inspections from the Health Department to ensure sanitary conditions of the cooking/preparation area(s) and to ensure that health codes for food prep/handling, transport, and storage are being followed.
